4.2.2.3 Find
The Find page allows searching for specific words or phrases within the Help topics. After typing
in a word to search for in the Help topics, the topics in which the word appears are listed, as well
as additional suggestions to narrow the search. The Help information for a particular topic may
be displayed by selecting the topic and clicking the Display button, or by double clicking the topic.
The Find page is useful for locating all commands that reference a particular topic (e.g., all topics
referencing the "Abs" string). However, since any reference to the string searched for is included,
this method often gives a long list of topics that must be searched through in order to locate
relevant information.
4.2.2.4 Reading Help Topics
E-Basic Help topics are presented using a standard format for all topics. Each description within
the E-Basic Help topics describes the use of the statement, function, command or object, the
syntax and parameters required, any considerations specific to the topic, an example, and a
listing of direct links to related topics.
